Thoughts For The Day

Anti-fa and Black Lives Matter needs to be treated as the enemies of humanity they actually are.

The totalitarians who make up the membership of Anti-fa and Black Lives Matter see themselves as good people and that those who properly oppose them as the bad guys.  This isn’t new, we saw this phenomena before with the membership of the NSDAP and the CPSU.  Totalitarians, like all people who value power, always lie.

If anything should've been learned from the Century of Death (a.k.a. the Twentieth Century) is that cowardice is NEVER an option.

Antisemitism in politics is the practical equivalent of a dead canary in a coal mine, I can't say this often enough.

Some people don't like Donald Trump, I understand that, I disliked him too.  But is this dislike based on a falsehood?  Can you accept the fact that you've been lied to?

Members of the NSDAP believed they the good guys too.

L. Ron Hubbard and David Miscavige will be remembered as the evil persons they actually were.

We have to accept the fact that so-called Church of Scientology is a criminal organization.

Scientologists are told they're the most ethical people on the planet, in fact they're the most vile.  (Outside of the Collectivists.)

The so-called Church of Scientology has all the credibility of the NSDAP, which is none what so ever.

There are more lamp posts in the City of Minneapolis than there are Scientologists worldwide.

Most bad people don't understand why they're identified and dealt with as bad people.

Cheaters (like The Democratic Party) need to be taken off the (political) playing field.

Bill Clinton (a.k.a. Big Bubba) needs to treated as the Enemy of Mankind he actually is. 

What we politely call the other side refuses to understand they can be wrong.

The Redneck whose personal library consists solely of The Bible is better educated than most Marxists.

Unfortunately, most Libertarians would be on the left side of the political isle if it weren't already occupied by people who would have to work hard to qualify as idiots.

The theory of Communism was invented by a group of professional parasites in order to give the appearance of modernity and moral legitimacy to the stone-age practice of beating-up and killing productive people and taking the products of their thought and labor. Of course that is about the nicest description I could give to it. I basically think of the practice of Communism as being the behavior of those who chose to essentially behave as predatory animals. And as with any other predatory animal that attacks human beings it is clear that they should be hunted down and killed.

To the true believer a 100 million innocent human lives snuffed out in the pursuit of an invalid ideology is just not enough. Would they stop after killing 200 million or 300 million? Of course not.

The parasite mentalities of the Master Class as a rule see themselves as superior beings and that all other people, the productive population of a nation, exist solely as either tools that they can use to pursue their goals or as trash to be disposed of. Killing those who rightfully refuse to be the slaves of the self-appointed superior beings is not seen as an act of murder. In the minds of the Master Class is it simply the disposal of garbage.

I practical effect a Communist is a mortal enemy of Mankind. And killing a Communist is as necessary as putting down a rabid animal or destroying any other active hazard to human life.

Complaint

Advocates of Liberty are often left on The Right side of the political line. 

Quote Of The Day

“Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.”

- L. Neil Smith, Author and Political Activist.

I got the quote from Mark Urbin.

Listening

I listened to Chris Shelton's podcast #146 and it sounds like he's a Libertarian. Even though I don't agree with him 100 percent, I have to say welcome to the party.

Punishing a man for an act he didn't commit is unjust. Imprisoning a man for speaking the truth is tyrannical. Disarming the citizens -- who are the sovereign authority of the nation -- is treason.  To say anything more would require the extensive use of barracks language.  There's no such thing as "common sense gun control."  Those who are in favor of banning firearms are enemies of Humanity and should be treated in the Nuremberg style, from the neck until dead.  And there's no limit to what a Statist can do to a disarmed victim.

Fantasy Land

I just posted the following piece on an Objectivist mailing list:

Let’s take a moment to peek into an alternate universe according to Hunter at The Daily Kos:

Wayne LaPierre and Sarah Palin at the National Rifle Association is what an American Nazi Party rally would sound like if Germany had won the war. The flag, the cross, the obsession over the danger posed to the ruling class by violent minorities and the warning that arming yourself to the teeth in order to prevent the demise of the very nation at the hands of those violent minorities, the petty mocking of the rule of law and mocking of the quaint sensibilities of those who would not commit crimes against the nation's enemies. There's nothing Godwin about it, this is what it would look like. Does look like, in certain meeting halls and convention centers.

How do any of these people manage to get out of bed in the afternoon without killing themselves?  And does this apparent moron has the slightest clue as to what National Socialism was or how it would materially manifest in Nazi America?  A quick answer to the second question would be to tell the apparent moron to get a bath and a haircut, put on a uniform designed by Hugo Boss, and look in a mirror.

As described by Leonard Peikoff in The Ominous Parallels the vision of the American Left is essentially National Socialism without the Aryan frills.  Of course in the socialist mentality ignorance is a fundamental strength.  When I attended the NRA convention held in Minneapolis two decades ago an ignorant girl-child in riding in a passing car screamed the word “Murderer” at me.  As I was in normal street clothes two blocks from the Convention Center the clearly ignorant child could not have reached a valid identification on sight alone.

Is readership of The Daily Kos paying attention at all?  To read the hit piece I had to pass a pop-up calling for the silencing of the Libertarian Koch Brothers.  Here only the self-appointed Ministry of Truth is allowed to speak.

Statement On Drug Policy

A basic virtue of standing for a political office independently of a party affiliation is that I do not have to run on their platform or record.  And in the case of Drug Policy the burden of their massive idiocy is unbearable.

The Drug Cartels, the organizations that produce and smuggle hard drugs for distribution and sale in the United States are using a series of increasingly sophisticated techniques to bring their wares into our country.  [LINK HERE]  As a consequence the cost of enforcing the prohibition on the sale and use of the same hard drugs has risen to virtually astronomical levels.

What is to be done?

Let us start by examining how the mess began.

One theory is that at the repeal of Prohibition, the insane attempt to ban the consumption of alcohol, there were a mass of federal agents looking for work.  And by looking for work I mean the acquisition of another federal job -- not an actually honest job doing real work.  The appalling employment situation in the civilian sector during The Depression may not have been a factor here.  They are federal government employees, after all.*

Another factor was that the unholy alliance of Holy Rollers and Progressives still believed in the social control attempted in Prohibition.  They refused to understand that real virtues, such as sobriety, cannot be enforced at the point of a gun.  Instead the unholy coalition sought to deny their error and instead inflict another mistake on our nation with another insane act of legislation.

Hard drugs such as Cocaine and Heroin were developed by pharmaceutical companies as proper pain suppression medicines.  At the time there was only a minor subculture in existence that abused these medicines.

But the fact that there only  a small number of people abused these medicines, and that the negative social impact was non-existent, did not stop the those lobbying for unemployed Prohibition agents  and moral morons from pushing the clearly necessary legislation.

The mass of politicians faced with being held to account for Prohibition and the Great Depression needed a sacred cause to restore their exalted position with the electorate.  The prohibition of hard drugs along with Marihuana fit the bill.

At first there was no clearly discernible adverse effects.  Some users switched back to alcohol to destroy themselves while others remained undetected.  The task of a federal agent was a government job after all.

And Cocaine was still administered under medical supervision.  By one report President Roosevelt received a dose from his doctor later in the afternoon on the Infamous Day.  And quite frankly I don't blame him at all.

But there were still users of hard drugs and therefore a market.  The manufacture only required a  simple knowledge of chemistry that an upper level of criminal could understand and the early suppression efforts were only a jobs program and therefore a joke. But the street level pushers were only receiving a minimum income at best.  They had to expand their user base in order to increase their income.

The increase in the number of discernible users in turn provoked a call for tighter enforcement which in turn increased the cost drug pushing.  The self-reinforcing cycle continued to gain more power until the present absurd situation has come to effect.

So what is to be done?

The absolute first thing that must be understood is that no actual virtue, in this case cleanness from drugs, can every be imposed at gunpoint.  The only person who ever stop a drug user is the user himself.  He has to recognize the fact that he is destroying himself.  And only he can make the decision and act to save himself.

With the pretense of morality buried we must then legalize the hard drugs and Marihuana.  The specialized enforcers of the drug laws can be retired, retrained and reassigned to real police postions, or simply fired.

Legalization will have the beneficial effect of reducing federal spending at the same time.  A further effect will be to cut off the federally mandated stream of funding to the Drug Cartels.  Criminals simply cannot compete on pricing with a business that has no overhead costs associated with operating in a black market.  Criminal organizations will be faced with the alternatives of legitimization or bankruptcy, but that's their problem.

With the subsequent drop in drug prices the pressure to commit crimes to pay for the addiction will be relieved.  But again the only valid solution to drug addiction is for the user to end it himself.

The legalization of hard drugs will not solve all of the associated problems of usage but it will restore government to the proper mission of defending our lives.  And it will make he situation better for everyone in general.

I fully acknowledge the fact that this was the position of the Libertarian Party.  I was an active member of the LP.  But the LP in fact is a joke.


* Gosh, I'm such a cynic.
